What we have called “motorcycles” should actually be called “enginecycles”. Also, the engine on enginecycles is a four-cycle engine.

Yes you can buy illegal things and break the law. Like really?

Or you're talking about electric motorbikes, which are not ebikes they are electric motorbikes.

    No, I'm talking about non-registerable electric bicycles with pedals as intended by the post. I'm not talking about highway-legal electric motorcycles like Zero. Yes, you can buy illegal vehicles. People do. The laws are not enforced in the US. So if a law bans highway-speed bicycles but no one is around to enforce it and users continually break this unenforced law, then the distinction about the safe versions of e-bikes being woefully slower than regulated motorcycles is moot. The actual e-bike user base has demonstrable overlap with highway-legal motorcycles.

    So back to my first point:

    JFC.
